RFIDsec launches ‘silent mode’ alternative to killing tag

RFIDsec has announced the availability of the first series of RFID solutions to completely block unauthorized access to a tag. Alongside with uncontested security, the RFIDsec solutions offer owners the possibility of differentiated access using a patent pending and secure access management system. Buyer skepticism towards product’s 'tagged' with RFID has been a major obstacle for the deployment of RFID tags. The RFIDsec solutions offer the possibility to shut off the tag at the point of sale – using the RFIDsec unique feature 'Silent Mode'. Instead of killing the tag, the RFIDsec tag are just put in silent mode, maintaining all data for further use in reclaim situations and the like. The owner of the product carrying the tag is in complete control of the tag and the way it communicates. RFIDsec offers 'Control' instead of 'Kill'.

A set-up with multiple keys, allows to control access and data on the tag in a flexible and dynamic manner. Furthermore RFIDsec tags are protected against cloning and copying, providing unique features for product authentication and preventing counterfeit products. RFIDsec calls this ‘Privacy by Design’.

'We are working with the Industry, large global systems integrators, RFID tag manufacturers and RFID ASIC providers and it is definitely confirmed that our technology is addressing real needs in the market place across the various industries. The huge interest we have met tells me that a number of the current RFID tag providers will want to integrate our technology on their tags, as it seams there are no other solutions available,' said Henrik Granau, CEO RFIDsec.
